Userba011d64_201/iStock via Getty Images Market positioning and sentiment have cleared enough to trigger the first significant “buy” signal since the Liberation Day saga, according to Max Kettner, HSBC’s chief multi-asset strategist. Kettner noted that the tech valuation premium has fallen to nearly a 10-year low, making current levels attractive for investors with a longer-term horizon. In an interview with CNBC, Kettner acknowledged that day-to-day volatility remains challenging due to contradictory geopolitical news, including developments out of Dubai related to the Iran conflict. For those with at least a six-month outlook, he believes the current environment presents a compelling entry point. The 10% corrections in the Nasdaq ( COMP:IND ) and Dow ( DJI ) represent a “rational reaction” rather than an extraordinary crisis, Kettner said. Cyclicals relative to defensives have dropped about 12% since their January highs, indicating significant growth pessimism is already priced into the market. While acknowledging drawdowns haven’t reached the depths seen during Liberation Day or the 2022 rate hikes, Kettner emphasized that markets have learned to look through temporary disruptions. Traditional safe havens have behaved unusually during the recent de-risking phase, with gold ( XAUUSD:CUR ) experiencing a difficult month and Treasury yields ( US10Y ), ( US2Y ), ( US30Y ) moving unexpectedly. The U.S. dollar ( DXY ), while stronger, hasn’t surged as dramatically as typical stagflationary environments would suggest, which Kettner views as a sign that a “short dollar trade” could reignite once the Iran conflict subsides. Meanwhile, non-traditional beneficiaries like the Brazilian real have gained ground amid shifting dynamics in oil markets. Kettner expressed confidence that the global economy can absorb oil prices around $80, even if inflation settles slightly above 2% at roughly 2.5% or 2.6%. “It’s not like inflation will go all the way back to 2%… but that’s not the...

(Bloomberg) -- On paper, Super Micro Computer Inc. is the type of company that Wall Street can’t get enough of, with soaring sales, an enviable list of partners like Nvidia Corp. and its placement at the center of the artificial intelligence boom. But a series of self-inflicted wounds — the most recent being the indictment of its co-founder Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw on charges of circumventing US export restrictions to China — have investors fleeing the stock in droves.“We did exit it,” said Rob Th

Images By Tang Ming Tung/DigitalVision via Getty Images Investment Thesis PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL ) stock is down roughly 15% after Q4’25 results, driven by the increasing execution risk regarding the Branded Checkout business line and the unpredictable change of the CEO. My target is to show what led the company’s board to change the CEO and why’s PYPL business model struggles to convince investors that it is sustainable, despite the marginal revenue and profit expansion over the last quarters. Branded Checkout: The Main Profit Engine Is Not Performing Effectively Let me start with the company’s management statements to create the framework of my analysis: Branded checkout represents over half our profit dollars, and we're confident the product, channel and marketing investments we're making will drive improvement and acceleration over time… Where we haven't made the same progress is in online branded checkout. We've reimagined a product that had been stagnant and underinvested in for years, creating a new value proposition for merchants and consumers, but we were too optimistic about how quickly we could drive change and customer adoption across a massive global user base. In short, PYPL’s main revenue driver, Branded checkout, doesn’t perform as expected due to the company underestimating how easy it is for adoption by users and merchants. Management accepted the fact that their “ execution has not been what it needs to be ”, because merchants “require much more hands-on integration support than (they) anticipated”. In addition, macroeconomic conditions and significant competition contribute to the low adoption and poor expansion of the Branded checkout business line. Q4’25 Investor Presentation As a result, active accounts continue to remain relatively flat over the last quarters, while transactions per active account (TPA) show a significant decrease in full year 2025, reflecting the company’s weakness in locking customers onto its platform. Q4’25 In...

Welcome back to Bloomberg’s Defense Monitor , a weekly rundown on the companies, geopolitics and finances of the future battlefield. Sign up now if you’re not already on the list. The Iran war has entered its second month, and the conflict seems to have settled into a routine: missile strikes, airstrikes and official reassurances that all is well with the oil situation . Yet all is not well with the oil situation . Brent prices are heading toward $120 a barrel, even with Iran allowing some tankers through — selling enough crude to generate more revenue than Tehran was earning before the war — and Saudi Arabia pumping 7 million barrels a day through its pipeline. The US has been kicking around the idea of using ground troops for ... something. There are only a few thousand in the Gulf region at the moment, including Marines , and that’s not enough for a wide campaign. But Kharg Island has emerged as a front-runner for operations because that’s the site of most outflows of Iran’s oil — there’s that word again. Missile strikes around the region continue to cause deaths, injuries and damage, including the destruction of a valuable US airborne warning and control plane . Iran’s attacks seem to be getting more accurate , as well, as defenses wear down and commanders plan their strikes differently, including choosing civilian targets such as oil infrastructure. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed to any traffic Iran hasn’t approved , thus choking off nearly 20% of the world’s... you know what, no. Let’s talk about something else. Nuclear weapons!

As missile sirens wailed over Israel earlier this month, thousands of Israelis received texts claiming to be from their military, encouraging them to download a fake shelter app, which could have stolen reams of personal data.

As missile sirens wailed over Israel earlier this month, thousands of Israelis received texts claiming to be from their military, encouraging them to download a fake shelter app, which could have stolen reams of personal data. Others received a mass text saying: “Netanyahu is dead. Death is approaching you and soon the gates of hell will open before you. Before the fire of Iranian missiles destroys you, leave Palestine.” The messages, cyber security experts say, are the most visible end of a vast war being waged in the far reaches of the Internet between Iran, Israel and the US, and their online sympathisers.
